Sound:
Nice and bright, with just enough growl. Good consistency string to string, and set to set. The only strings I play are DR's.
Feature:
They don't seem to need to be stretched nearly as much as other strings. I love that. I usually tune them about 1/2 to a full step sharp, and stretch them several times, and then tune them accurately once all of them are on. I never have intonation problems after that.
Ease of Use:
They string up just like any other string, but seem to have a little more flex to them.
Quality:
Always consistent. great strings.
Value:
You get what you pay for. Pay $12 for a 5 string set, you get a cheap-ass set of strings. Pay $40, and you'll be happy with them.
Manufacturer Support:
Never needed it.
The Wow Factor:
Great strings make you sound better, and make you more confident, because everything feels right. And that makes the ladies like you.
Overall:
I won't use any other strings than DR's. Used to use Blue Steels, but they go dead really fast. These don't. 'nuff said.
